6:49Now PlayingWhile the United States, Mexico and Canada held a major summit in Mexico on Wednesday, U.S. border policies are back in the spotlight after a U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed a man near San Diego, California, on Tuesday. Officials said the agent was pursuing a group of people suspected of crossing the border from Mexico. When a man threw a rock at him, the agent opened fire and killed him. The agent suffered minor injuries and declined hospital care. The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general recently found U.S. border agents have been involved in 20 fatalities since 2010, eight of which that's nearly half involved rock throwing. Well for more we're joined by John Carlos Frey, an investigative reporter who has long reported on immigration and more recently, on killings of migrants at the U.S.Mexico border.
